+      This is a sequence of the 3rd movement of Ferrucio
+Busoni's mammoth 5-movement, hour-long Piano Concerto.
+For it, I have used a Proteus 2, plus a Korg O3R/W for
+a few tracks and a Korg P3 piano module.
+
+   Notes: There is some channel sharing; in addition,
+there are program changes within string tracks which
+share channels; there are also some pizzicato bass notes
+in the pizzicato violas track from bars 98-101.

+   Ferrucio Busoni's mammoth Piano Concerto is spread over 5
+movements (with a male chorus in the finale!), taking about
+an hour to perform.  This is the 4th movement, a Tarantella
+("All' Italiana").
+
+   The sequence was done for a Proteus 2 (the orchestral
+instruments) and a Korg P3 piano module. The .mid file
+has transposed the basses track down an octave and the
+piccolo track up an octave, since these instruments sound,
+respecively, an octave lower and higher than written.
+The Proteus 2 allows for this, but most sound modules don't.
+The A Clarinets and French Horns have also been transposed to
+concert pitch.
+
+   To keep the orchestral tracks down to 16 channels, I've
+had to do a lot of program changes in the Tremolo Strings
+track. They're annotated in the Comments part of the track,
+but not all sequencers display this information, so I've
+given it below:
+
+Instrument                  Bars:
+
+Pizzicato Violins           286-291; 739-742
+
+Glockenspiel                296-308; 614-619
+
+Pizzicato Cellos            353-365
+
+Pizzicato Violas & Cellos   383-395
+
+back to Tremolo Strings     520-577
+
+   Snare Drums: single hits are a C; rolls are an A.

+   Ferruccio Busoni's Piano Concerto is an hour-long marathon
+spread over 5 movements, the finale including a chorus singing
+a German translation of Lebanese poetry (!)
+
+   Since so many instruments are required I have used, in addition
+to my usual Proteus 2, a Korg O3R/W for additional instruments,
+and a Korg P3 piano module.
+
+   All transposing instruments have been transposed to C. Since
+the Proteus 2 automatically transposes piccolos up an octave
+and basses down an octave, I have done this (so if you're
+using a Proteus 2, you'll have to transpose them back again).
+
+   FYI, I've already sequenced the 3rd and 4th movements. If
+not on this site, they have been uploaded elsewhere.
